Simple Speaker Stands // Woodworking How To | I Like To Make Stuff

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Forgot to post it, but in case anyone wants to make some stands like this, I've got templates available on my website. www.iliketomakestuff.com/different-ways-make-simple-speaker-stands/

[@shafayasghar5710]

Bob your videos have inspired me to start my own woodworking. I would love to read your book and will get it through amazon in no time. I have started woodworking but I don't know how to use my tools. Could you do a tutorial or link me to a nice beginners tutorial because the videos I saw were not that great.

[@oliverhunt8504]

Bob , you should make a wooden 3D pin art board

[@D2Kprime]

This may sound like an odd request, but being that you are a musician if you don't already have one have have you tried making a talkbox similar to what Eric Clapton or Roger Troutman used? I've seen other KZbin videos on how to make one but I'd like to see your take on it. If you are interested of course.

[@adam_aronson]

Hi Bob! I’m curious about the fence you have on your SawStop. It doesn’t appear to be the stock fence. Is it a third party add-on?

[@mohammadabukaff6935]

Hi bob how are you?? I hope you make chess 🤗🤗🤗

[@I3urton]

I love how your videos just keep getting better and better, no matter what you actually do. Production quality as a whole, cuts, camera work, use of music, you name it. Not to mention the quality of your projects and the outcome, your seemingly endless pool of ideas and your incredible way to explain things. Best youtuber ever.

[@v1d300]

One thing I really really like about your videos is that each of his independent of your other project, what I mean whenever possible you go out the way to explain all the various ways a task can be achieved from complex to simple in almost every video. Most others might just say check my other video for that method which is quite annoying at times if they are not your subscriber. Thank you Bob for being so considerate.

[@jonathanlambach2229]

I love how you’ve explained your different processes and how accessible you have made this project with those explanations! I appreciate your hard work and how you teach while you make stuff. Thanks for sharing, and keep making!

[@darshansk139]

I wanted to say the exact same thing!

[@maxcar7298]

Love the way you teach saying that almost everything can be done with rly cheap tools, makes things a lot easier, ty for real

[@mturner7766]

It’s great that you showed so many options. It just shows that anyone can do it. We all aspire to have all the best tools but space and money limit most of us. It’s great that you show these options. Thanks Bob!

[@hofa]

I like the small changes in your videos. I can't really put my finger on it but it's a good sign that this channel isn't going down soon. In flemish we have a saying 'stil staan is achteruit gaan' which roughly translates to: 'standing still means going backward'. Don't get caught being comfortable in what your doing, which is hard! Innovate, create, make, keep up the good work!

[@SuitedCynic]

Love the underlying message of the video! If you don't have the exact same tools, get some more info and get creative - same thing is still possible!

[@noremorsewoodworking2258]

I agree, it is not a question of what you have, it is how you use what you have.

[@princearchie]

What can i say, Bob you are the greatest. You and your videos are the best. You are a great inspirator and one of the best youtubers out there. Keep up the great work that you are doing. Love and respect from Slovenia.

[@brickdaddiy]

And here I thought it was just going to be a video of cutting some boards out and gluing them together. Those turned out pretty amazing!

[@delvis7842]

Thanks Bob! Guys with a severely limited tool set will benefit from all the suggestions in this video! Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it, personally! I have a drill, jig saw, sander and a chop saw on loan from a buddy!

[@wildbobentertainment]

I absolutely love your speaker stands. Their simple functionality and two tone look has inspired me to make my own set. If I had one complaint, it is for your final assembly. Please consider running the wires down the legs for a cleaner desk look. Because we see that desk in a lot of your videos, my ocd will thank you. God bless, Bob.

[@texasnewf]

Love the design Bob, simple but elegant

[@AbbasmyabzzHameer]

This is great. I love how he takes the time to explain everything he does and that he tells us how to do it if we don't have the tools he uses. Brilliant 😅👍

[@MorleyKert]

I have yet to try this but you could also try Matthias's hack of using an upside-down mounted jigsaw like a scroll saw!

[@joeaddison]

Loved the little extra explanation and info integrated into the video

[@Kreith32]

[@emeraldgypsyheart]

Thank you Bob! This project gave me an idea for a step for our aging minipins!!!

[@bradleyabel]

This video is great cause u have options of how to make it considering what tools u have, it helped me it a lot, u should implement these style in more videos

[@zukaro]

This is definitely one of my favourite channels on KZbin. I've yet to really build much myself but it's something I wanna get into at some point. More specifically I wanna play around with robotics and such, but I haven't really had a chance to get into it yet (just due to the cost). But, I might look into just getting a few hand tools to make some simple and inexpensive things not necessarily relating to robotics (one thing I've wanted to do for awhile is build a platform for my bed so I can raise it up off the floor and give me a space to put my desk or other things underneath it, considering that space is only used during the night, so during the day it essentially just goes to waste; and that's a fairly simple project which should be easy to accomplish with hand tools alone).

[@karloturalija7687]

Keep up the good work Bob. I'm only 12 years old and you inspired me to get into woodworking (actually you and my grandpa)

[@BuildStuffwithAJ]

Pretty cool and very simple project, alot of people think you need expensive tools to do wood working but I'm glad you pointed out that you can always get the same job done with hand tools. It just takes longer.

[@tedbonbrake1967]

Loved this build. Simple design anyone can make and something that would appeal to the masses. Your style of video is excellent. Keep it up! One of my favorite subscriptions.

[@Iruini626]

Im happy that you described multiple ways to do a work. It gives inspiration to me since I do not have power tools. You should include the reasons for choice of wood for your future projects too. Your mention about wood grain is useful for inexperienced makers. 👍👍

[@SmoofDizzle]

These look great Bob! I am so trying this, my speakers at home at a bit more narrow than the ones you have here but I can just change the dimensions to fit. This will be a nice simple project I can attempt as I am fairly new to woodworking in general. Thanks for the amazing content!!

[@SkullCollectorD5]

You are absolutely right in saying that power tools are a thing of convenience! When you cut that little corner with your handsaws, I remembered watching another channel make a workbench and he postponed finishing the top, because he couldn't cut it with the depth of his circular saw. A 300 mm panel saw was all he needed, but because all he knew was his power tools, he couldn't complete it for the video. Tempted to say that it's sad, but totally understand relying on power tools as time savers and for precision. Mind your roots; hand tools offer ways of problem solving that are not possible with electric stuff.

[@TheThirdWorldCitizen]

I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos. Just look at the description of the video, you almost wrote a book my friend. Thank you for taking the time of making your content as flawless as possible

[@asandovalhatchet]

I love how you took what could have been a simple shelf and made it into such an elegant piece! awesome video!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks Alberto!!

[@j.justin1511]

Beautiful work, as usual, Bob. And I love the ever-present Star Wars nerdity in and around your work area!

[@augustbiernbaum4841]

I built a desk like your last one, except with heat aged walnut, this will be a welcome addition to it!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Right on!

[@tayred81]

Yeah, i like it when you make projects possible for us that don't have big tools like a table or bandsaw. More of those videos would be much appreciated. Thankd /Fredrik from Sweden

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nicely done Bob! 👍👊

[@pedge001]

I had two instant reactions to this video : 1) I love seeing multiple methods to achieve the same goal. 2) it felt a little “comment inspired”. Regardless can’t wait for the first epic build of the new year.

[@ecrusch]

Those came out really sharp man. And I know you are trying to explain to people how they don't need any special equipment to make this stuff. But believe me brother, if they are watching your channel, chances are they have at least the rudimentary tools they need to make something like this. So, to any viewers that want to complain about not being able to make this kind of stuff because they don't have a shop full of tools, please just save it. Thanks Bob. Love your stuff. Eric

[@redeyedfreaks]

Bro the most advanced wood making tool I got in my apartment is a screwdriver.... What can I make?! (Another great video as always!)

[@galli0]

I dont have any tools either, but i love watching these videos and getting ideas and inspiration for when i do

[@JonathanRansom]

Those tuned out great! I was waiting for you to mention you could also cut them out with lightsabers...

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Hahaha! I totally forgot that!

[@LS-zz6oz]

Hey bob love your videos👍, please never stop with building cool stuff

[@thesuperhero]

I love how you show multiple ways to make these

[@roywholstonjr5292]

I love you showing the different means of making the stands. And the turned out fantastic!

[@AaronPowellvox]

Thanks for another awesome project. Those look so much nicer than the plain Jane ones from a box store. Another way to make the dado would be to do several passes with a skill saw and chisel out the remaining wood.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks Aaron! Yes! Another great accessible idea!

[@JBCreations2650]

Pro Tip: You can make anything with a file. It's just gonna take a long time.

[@LuisCasstle]

Seriously 😂

[@rockincowgirl10]

I love those shelves. They're so cute. And your coffee mug at the beginning of the video.

[@sowmyaj1971]

great improvement in this year...as always love your videos

[@Gantorin]

I like the project, and need to make a riser for my laptop. I also like the alternitive ways to cut and build. I have get creative to cut, and make as well. It takes me a bit longer, but Rome wasn't built in a day.

[@canyflyer]

BOB!! You make the simplest project exciting! You're love of making stuff is addictive!! (P.S. love the outtakes at the end!)

[@chron0dude]

This right here is reason I subscribed! These seemingly simple tips help more than you'd know! Great work Bob!

[@emilianop6120]

Very good solution and style.👍🏼

[@DanGamble]

Love the diversity of techniques you've demonstrated in this project vid. Really well done dude. Thanks.

[@BryanKipke]

Thank you for the vid. I like the info on how to use different methods to accomplish the same thing. That will be helpful as I have an opportunity to bud my own small shop.

[@leanreox]

Nice stands, and amazing video as always. If i have to change something on the design, i probably made the back legs somehow to be able to route a channel to make the cables go through them to the back of the desk without being hanging there.

[@thacorruptor4472]

I love the bloopers.. you need more of those, or have more at the end for those of us that watch til the very end :D Nice simple little project

[@Maximoolian]

I like that even though his channel's got bigger (therefore his workshop), Bob still shows ways to make projects with a very limited selection of tools. Loads of channels that have gotten bigger like Film Riot don't even do DIY videos anymore and assume you have expensive gear. I don't blame them for using more expensive stuff, but I appreciate Bob helping those with less gear.

[@cavangriffin1514]

Those stands compliment the desk so well. Amazing design job there, keep up the good work mate.

[@knockitclose]

Great job Bob. I’ve always enjoyed your videos. The slightly refreshed format was even more informative. Thanks.

[@belle4078]

Josh is such a great cameraman! Love seeing the already quality content on your channel become even better!

[@BruceAUlrich]

What a nice looking solution and addition to your desk! I like the design of these.

[@c.e.f4916]

You wouldn’t happen to have a brother named Lars would ya?

[@BruceAUlrich]

ha ha...no. Don't I wish though.

[@c.e.f4916]

Bruce A. Ulrich don’t we all wish that? Lol.

[@AshtonKuzman]

i love that you showed us other tools you can use. I wish you would do this every video. thanks so much!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Thanks! I try to when I can, but sometimes it just adds a bunch of extra time that's not a great idea.

[@AshtonKuzman]

I Like To Make Stuff Yes I understand. Thanks for making such amazing videos and putting so much time into them!

[@Ravenspath]

Really like you discussing the use of alternate methods to use during a build. Thanks for the great videos.

[@drewr729]

Bob, thank you for keeping your language clean. My young boys like your videos!

[@benjkeller]

I love that design, and they came out great! They’ve got me thinking about scaling them up to a couple of end tables....

[@ryanking5454]

Love it. You did a great job of making the project accessible. Good work.

[@corinneelizabethrywalt5205]

Thank you for showcasing similar ways to create without a bunch of cool tools! I don't have an extensive shop setup so videos like this really help me experiment with what I have.

[@TheCraftCart28]

Wow just loving your videos everyday! I wish I had the time and the stuff to do wood working. My grandpa did a lot of wood working and he would make furniture and just wish that I could what he and what you do. Not alot of people that I know of does great wooking working videos on youtubelike you do! Could you do a video on something Back to The Future themed Please, I think that would be realy cool to see and make.

[@SuperStephenvids]

Really loved this build ! I’d love if you could do more videos like this with alternative tools. Could you do a video for complete beginners ? Explaining where you could start or how to set up a place to begin doing woodwork ? ☺️☺️ thanks

[@OlympusHeavyCavalry]

I worked out my seating position opposed to the desk dimensions, then worked out the height and distance of my ear/eye level from the floor, then to the back of the desk/wall while still seated. I also worked out the height of my monitor speakers with noise reduction foam and this enabled me to work the dimensions out and the final positions of the two monitor speakers and lcd monitor. Using this, I then constructed a mini table out of pine and aluminium using stainless steel fasteners only. This enabled me to sit both my monitor speakers and LCD monitor at ear and eye level at a very comfortable distance producing optimal sound and visual imaging for me, yet the mini table was very balanced regarding it's length and width, even without the added weight. One thing I found was never use cheap forstner bits and that cutting or drilling round aluminium tubing stock parallel/square can be difficult.

[@BatesonBen]

Legendary. Something so simple, yet the techniques and detail, so good. Love watching ILTMS, thanks mate

[@TheKlabim]

R2d2 mug and bespin wallpaper. I like it!

[@cmnakano8211]

Excelent video! I always enjoy them.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Oooo fancy transition at 0:26 just like you talked about on the Making It Podcast!! Looks good!

[@lilthotslayerakayungsweetp7109]

EvanAndKatelyn ayy ur the people from the new video (collab)

[@wilhelml]

Hey Bob! Nice beginner how-to video, thumbs up!

[@MikeTheMaker1]

wilhelml great video for beginners

[@beeharle1327]

Your ideas are so cool and so rustic but so simple. I've got a lot of different ideas from you that have made projects a whole lot easier. It would be awesome to see some more ideas for your kids to give to my huge family

[@julianbrecciaroli7577]

Great video! I would love to see more videos in this format, where you show what other tools you can use.

[@iamlukemorrison]

Strong start to the year Bob WELL DONE. Keep up the brilliant content

[@AGlimpseInside]

Bro. I have the same rockit 5’s and now I know how I’m going to lift them! These stands rock! Great design!

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Sweet!

[@RounakGandhi]

Great video, one suggestion is to channel your speaker cables behind the leg close to the monitor. That way you will have a clean looking setup

[@isaeagle4031]

Nice project! Speaker building is what most of my woodworking is about. You did a great service to the krks, getting them up like this.

[@WhatIsKenDoing]

I like those shelves. I could see variants of that design being very useful on a cramped kitchen counter.

[@norm962]

Loved the transitions and the teaching style. Well done

[@sumosprojects]

Great to have the visual of the many techniques possible to make something, that visual allows all abilities of woodworking to have a go 👍

[@SweatyGamer123]

Great video! I'd recommend putting some padding on the feet of the stands or under the speakers to help with the vibrations!

[@iDeviceChgr]

Love the design! Great job Bob! 👍🏼

[@LDMco]

this is great. im thinking of redesigning my room and my setup, and this looks like a great idea. great video bob!

[@ThisIsReMarkable]

Officially out of ideas I see... JUST KIDDING! As someone who isn't able to create their own shop, I needed to hear the bit about power tools *not* being the only way to get a job accomplished. Great video as always Bob! Bring on the new year of ILTMS!

[@gavirialive]

I love not only the quality of your projects but also how you throw so many tips to us in between your explanations... awesome, thanks for sharing you knowledge

[@notreallydaedalus]

Loved seeing alternative methods for those of us with a limited shop, thanks!

[@jkitchen2003]

Hey Bob! Just wanted to say that in the past I've cut dados using a simple Dremel and they turned out fine!

[@scootersworkbench6347]

Nice vid! Thanks for taking the extra time to show so many options to accomplish the task.

[@talha682]

Bobs liking to make stuff, is making me loving to make stuff.

[@leifprice8836]

His passion is indeed infectious. And his vids are really good.

[@drtomasdds]

Bob, the Stuff you make is so awesome. You rock!

[@garrettturner6188]

My grandmother is wanting me to make her 4 end tables for her living room and this design closely matches the design of her tv stand. I believe it will scale up just as nice with some slight dimension changes to fit her space.

[@xxmickeymoorexx]

the VHB tape is amazingly strong. And what a cool little build

[@SpecificLove7]

Thanks for showing all of the options, it is very helpful.

[@GuillaumeVende]

Really love the idea of teaching how to do things with simple tools ! We want other videos like this !

[@drillandfill6513]

I caught that trick you picked up from Alec Steele and that you mentioned in the podcast. It looked great and is a good fit. Keep it up man. -Tyler

[@Beanyboy305]

You should’ve added a groove down the back leg for wires to run down. (Cable management)

[@joeyg5639]

Thank you for showing different ways to accomplish it

[@RiaanOliver]

Great stuff, the design is simple and elegant for a speaker stand. Just reading your book now good stuff.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Great video. It's good seeing the different ways you can accomplish the same task. They turned out great.

[@playmusic5978]

Wow, these are nice! Good job! Looks great:)

[@CloverRose]

I made a corner unit shelf to go against the wall on my computer desk. It's extremely sturdy and I made it out of 4 mil MDF using a Stanley knife and strong glue. It cost me less than $10 to make and it's still together 7 years later. I also made a tree book shelf out of a 2cm thick pine slab. All I used was a pack of screws (about 15 screws), wood glue and an electric drill. You could do the same thing with a screw driver but if you don't predrill the timber, it might split. I got the measurements cut to size at the hardware store. It took a day and a half to put together and cost less than buying one online. And mine is twice the size and I made it to fit in a certain area. I own a jigsaw, multi tool with attachments to sand and cut wood, electric drill with every drill bit you could imagine, clamps, sand paper..... you name it, I've got it, but you can make anything if you're creative with the tools you have. You can make a lot out of MDF, a screw driver and glue.

[@stek_customfurn]

Love it! You’re an absolute legend bob, I love your videos ☺️☺️

[@CheekyD21]

If I had a desk like yours, I'd make these shelves a canter lever add-on or bolt-on to the raised section where the monitor sits so that the speakers still sit at the same level but give you the desk space under the speakers instead of legs. Awesome job as always.
